All right, peeps. I bought the eBay tent from HTG. The 4x4x6 tent for 120 with the two six inxh flanges included. I already had the other eBay tent for 100 dollars shipped with the same dimensions and the eBay 2x3x5 tent with the mylar.
This tent is very beautiful to start with. It is well designed and made of nice material, that has some thoughtful zippers for construction, which in this 100 degree weather I was putting off.
The swearing! The sweating! As usual for tents I ignore their directions which are impossible. I put the bottom together, find the rest of the poles and get them ready, then do the roof one corner at a time. The other way, the pulling it all on at once is impossible. I have taken them down and up several times and this is the best way.
I got the tent up. Is is a vast improvement with the duct holes. They actually are quite nice for any price. They are velcro protcovers that dont leak at all! They snap on with heavy velcor or snap off and one can screw in flanges. I used the two flanges for one vent and put ducting on and both sides for my eight inch cool tube and 600 watt.
The tent is nice. Last step was to go inside and check for other light leaks besides the ports. Here I met the only sad part of the tent. All along the front door, the upper portion, light leaks in pretty bad. That is the only place. Even the side flaps actually stay down and dont need taping to stay shut and unlike the cheap 100 dollar 4x4 tent the velcor works.
I fixed the door easy by hanging a blanket over the upper half of the door. Easy.
So it is a good buy and for only twenty dollars more than the other eBay 4x4x6 tent this is a hell of a great deal. The sheer amount of port holes and the versatility and ease of op is a deal!
